I have a personal Apple ID and a work Apple ID. My work devices are set up with my work Apple ID. Today, I’m working from home and watching a movie on Apple TV, and then I see it on my work iPhone.

This is a massive privacy violation. How did this happen? What can I do to make sure this never happens again?
Can one set up an iPhone as Apple TV remote without using an (or the same) Apple account?
(That could explain this without the assumed privacy leak)
First of all, this should not happen, as long as the Apple TV is NOT among the devices belonging to the Apple ID used on the work iPhone OR as long as the work iPhone is not set up as a device allowed to control the Apple TV as a remote.
So…
Yes.
Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Solution in order to get the work iPhone disconnected from the AppleTV: remove the work iPhone from the AppleTV, if it is listed under Remotes and Devices on the TV.
To see which Apple devices can control your Apple TV 4K, go to Settings
on Apple TV 4K, then go to Remotes and Devices > Remote App and Devices. To remove a device from the list, select the device, then select Forget This Device.

Thank you. That worked.
